Thinking about buying a home this fall? A little prep before you start touring makes the whole search smoother.
Start with your budget. Talk with a lender early so you know what monthly payment feels comfortable, not just the top of your range.
Make a must have list. Separate the things you truly need from the nice to haves, so you can spot the right home quickly when it comes on the market.
Tour with fresh eyes. Look past paint colors and staging and picture your daily life in each room.
